Not without incident and looking a bit worn out Mum arrives, "no longer waiting for Mum".
the incident part of the journey revolved around the check in where Mum was nearly refused permission to board the flight because her passport although current did not have 6 months validity, and i think most of us experienced travelers know about this 6 month rule. Anyway after phoning the Philippines...and receiving confirmation it was ok to travel, she was accepted on the flight. Seems the rest was pretty much standard flight.
Mum was / is relieved to be here and doing well, we had a swim a cool down, she seemed to be doing fine but then conked out at 7pm, really conked out, hopefully fora long sleep, i guess she will wake in the early hours but anyway lets see. She only mangaed 1 beer, 2 were on offer or a G&T but the offer was refused.
So far, so good, Annika gave mum a smile so that also was a good start lets take it slowly and tomorrow is already another prospect.
